(Notice that I said download. Streaming is a very bad idea. When you download a movie to your hard drive, you can watch it more than once without wasting bandwidth by streaming it more than once, and you can give copies to your friends. When you no longer need it, you simply delete it.)

In other cases, however, the uploader had nothing but a fuzzy source video to begin with. Many public domain films haven't been restored and are available only in a scratchy, dirty, and blurry format.

I admit that not all movies on this sight are "blocky" but I have noticed that most of the ones, such as what I mentioned, are - and that has NOTHING whatsoever to do with the frame rate (the fact that this is a free site is a rather poor excuse for shoddy workmanship).

its unfortunate the uploaders often make video files as small as possible to shorten uploading time and bandwith usage. sometimes the source seems like it really is but the framerate is jerky and the picture blocky.

what I dont understand is that some of the films are stretched to 1:85 aspect ratio when they should be 1.33 if they are older movies.
